Jon Sjogren '88
Baseball
Hall of Fame Class of 2007

Jon Sjogren ‘88 coached the Bulldog baseball team for 15 years, posting a 360-301-1 record in becoming the winningest coach in Bryant school history. Before assuming the coaching duties, Sjogren earned All-New England and all-conference recognition as a player and finished with a .370 career batting average. He led the Bulldogs to three NCAA tournament appearances and four Northeast-10 conference titles. 

In 2004, Sjogren led Bryant to its first NCAA Regional Championship and berth in the College World Series in Montgomery, Alabama.

The Bulldogs finished the season with a school record 40 wins and a No. 6 national ranking. His 2004 squad was the third Bryant team that Sjogren had led to the NCAA tournament, with other appearances coming in 1998 and 2002.

Sjogren was named Northeast-10 Coach of the Year four times in his tenure with Bryant, and is still the only Bulldog to have won a conference championship and appear in an NCAA tournament as both a player and a head coach.
